I totally get the sentiment but the dream was always about a cup that mattered. This one is a joke sadly.

Exactly. I'll go and have a good weekend. But comparing this to an fa cup or league win is crackers.
If we win then great, if we lose then so what. Any goal scored will not get celebrated anything like even a playoff final goal v Charlton.

Luckily there all treated as a joke nowadays, so any cup final has an element of excitement
I think playing Pompey after they stuffed us in the top of the league clash will bring a bit more bite to the game
Phase 3?

FA Cup and League Cups aren't jokes. Even Guardiola was massively pumped up last Sunday for it.

I never said they were, I said there treated as a joke, ie championship teams changing 10 players for fa cup games tells you all you need to know

Genuinely hope I can get a couple of tickets, don't have a season ticket thought so could potentially be squeaky bum time like.
In my head I've been thinking how all the season ticket holders will get one, and if there's any justice in this world they'll sort a system where they'll see how many tickets non ST holders have bought and I should be a shoe in tbh
Sadly i go along with this sentiment but having said that if i was younger I would definetly be up for it

< agree , nobody who isn’t in the final gives a shit about it , no prestige at all , flipside its a weekend away in the smoke and a trip to Wembley still

Of course. It’s a kids/reserves cup that no one gives a fuck about.

I am intrigued how they play this like, how do they sell the remaining 12/15k tickets? If people can prove they were at earlier games or people with points from last 3 years?Genuinely hope I can get a couple of tickets, don't have a season ticket thought so could potentially be squeaky bum time like.

Does the OP remember the Milk Cup Final in 85, when the week before the final we humped Norwich in the league IIRC?
It would be very Sunderland to fuck this up....

Have I missed the semi final? Glad we won like!
Not come the final though. This clearly is though in the eyes of big clubs.
Totally why people fancy it but I'll be using my £ on Fleetwood and Rochdale either side of it. Will save a Wembley win for when it really means something.
Can I use your points then ?

I'd imagine if you want a ticket you'll get one. I can't imagine it'll be as popular as the league Cup final.

There's one lad I know who might want it as he's used it for the odd away but if not no probs

I've heard from quite a few who don't go to games that they plan on going. I think lots will think they can get a ticket and it won't work that way.
SAFC fans, guaranteed to be the world record holder for counting chickens before they're hatched until at least the year 2150
